00:00Today we have the biggest Hindi language channel must be in the entire world.
00:05I have had an English medium education throughout.
00:08You hear of those schools where kids are penalized for speaking in the native, the vernacular, right?
00:14I come from such schools and obviously I do not support Anglicization of the mind.
00:21But I also probably know that my English medium education has contributed to what I am currently doing.
00:27So many of the great poets, think of Agye for example, their education was in English.
00:33And they went on to become stalwarts in the Hindi field.
00:36Think of Gandhi, a coat-pant donning barrister from London and South Africa.
00:40And he becomes the Hindi heartland's Mahatma.
00:43When he went to Champaran, he didn't even know the Bihari language.
00:48Bhojpuri was spoken and written in the Kathi script.
00:51And Gandhi knew neither.
00:53And he is a Gujarati returning from abroad.
00:55And see where he begins his mission in Bihar.
00:58His education abroad helped him do great things in the Hindi heartland.
01:03You don't have to stick to Hindi and Hindi to do good to the Hindi people.
